    11" Front rotors options

    I am in need of buying a new set of 11" rotors for my 91+ K frame/brakes with 60mm calipers.
    I used EBC drilled and slotted for approx 5 years on my DD but now one is warped after 30-40K.
    So I thought I would ask which rotor would you buy?
    Regards,
    Miles

    I’ve used just about everything with eleven inch brakes and had good success. There was a time when I was getting brembo units for about twenty five bucks shipped. They are nice and I should have bought more of them.

    The raybestos element-3 rotors have been decent. They are coated so the non friction surfaces do not instantly begin rusting.

    I do a lot of brakes and concur. Not sure if they're available for our application, but the Raybestos R-300 performance rotors have worked well for me. Stop Tech GCX is also another fully coated rotor that would provide lots of corrosion protection.

    So I spoke too soon, it would appear the element-3 flavor is not available for the 11" rotor.

    The Brembo / Mopar part (Mopar part number 4383973) was clearance out within the last year or two. They were on closeout on Rockauto for the longest time for really cheap. I too purchased the cheap Brembo ones and it had Mopar part numbers on it and was either made in the USA or Mexico. There are at least two eBay listings for the Mopar ones if you want to go that route.

    My next choice would probably be the RAYBESTOS 7992R or BENDIX PRT1534 in hopes it is an older stock one made somewhere in North America, especially if you are having issues with warping.
